FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sydney, Australia – 16th September — Australia’s leading digital beverage ordering and procurement platform, eBev, has joined the Oolio family, bringing together two technology businesses with a shared focus on making hospitality simpler, smarter and more efficient.
Founded in 2015, eBev has spent more than a decade transforming the way hospitality venues order and manage beverages. Today, the platform connects more than 1,000 suppliers and 70,000 products, and has facilitated over $1 billion in orders over its lifetime across Australia.
Oolio is one of Australia’s leading hospitality technology providers, supporting more than 22,000 venues through its portfolio of point-of-sale, payments, ordering and hospitality technology solutions.
The combination brings together two complementary parts of the hospitality technology ecosystem: Oolio’s deep connection to venue operations and eBev’s specialist expertise in beverage procurement, supplier connectivity and ordering.
For hospitality operators, the opportunity is significant — creating a more connected technology environment that can reduce administration, improve visibility and give venue teams more time to focus on their customers.
Ian Harris, CEO of eBev, said the move represents an important new chapter for the business.
“We built eBev because we could see that beverage procurement was one of the most fragmented and time-consuming parts of running a hospitality business. Over the past decade, we’ve built a platform that connects venues and suppliers and makes that process dramatically easier.
“Joining Oolio gives us the opportunity to take that vision much further. Oolio has built an exceptional hospitality technology business with a genuine understanding of what operators need, and there is a very natural fit between our businesses.
“This is an exciting next chapter for eBev. Our customers, suppliers and partners will continue to benefit from the technology and expertise they know, while we now have the opportunity to accelerate innovation and connect beverage procurement more closely with the broader technology stack that venues use every day.”
Kris Satish, Group CEO of Oolio, said eBev’s specialist capability represents a significant addition to the Oolio ecosystem.
“Hospitality operators don't experience their business in software categories. They experience it as one business — from purchasing and inventory through to service, payments and the customer experience.
“eBev has built something genuinely valuable in beverage procurement, with deep relationships across suppliers and venues and a strong understanding of one of the most important cost areas for hospitality operators.
“Bringing eBev into the Oolio family is a natural extension of our ambition to give hospitality businesses technology that works better together. We’re excited about what we can build with the eBev team and, most importantly, what this will ultimately mean for our customers.”
A shared vision for the future of hospitality technology
The partnership brings together two businesses with complementary strengths and a shared belief that technology should remove complexity rather than create it.
eBev’s platform enables venues to discover, order and manage beverages from multiple suppliers through a single digital platform, while providing suppliers with tools to manage their products, orders and relationships with customers.
Oolio provides hospitality-first point-of-sale and payment solutions, supported by decades of experience across the hospitality technology sector.
Together, the businesses will explore opportunities to create a more connected experience for hospitality operators — helping them make better decisions, streamline purchasing and administration, and ultimately run more efficient businesses.
For eBev, joining Oolio also provides a platform to accelerate its next phase of product development, while retaining the specialist beverage expertise and customer relationships that have been central to its success since 2015.
